6 Partners contributions NTUA will undertake WP4 (project co-ordination) and the technical work in WP1 and Task 2.4 related to the thermodynamic analysis and design of a pipeline network for CO 2 transportation and the assessment of design and construction error risk. ISPE will conduct Task 2.1 on the landslide risk, METU will undertake the assessment of the seismic risk in Task 2.2, while TUS will work on the corrosion risk in Task 2.3. In WP4, all project partners will summaries the obtained results of their specific research performed during the project in WP2, and the summaries will be used for the preparation of the respective guidelines, which will serve as a training material. All project partners will effectively work for the successful dissemination of the project results and the organization of 4 workshops and one seminar during the project duration.
Introduction to Lab. of Steam Boilers and Thermal Plants The Laboratory has a personnel of 20 people, (1 Professor, 19 postdocs, M.Sc. and Ph.D candidate researchers and technicians). For the past years, the Lab had a mean annual income of 1-1.5 MEuro from E.C. and national competitive research projects and industrial projects. The Laboratory has been working for the last 20 years on the following subjects: Examination of combustion and heat transfer phenomena in steam boilers, computational simulation of flow fields, of transfer and combustion phenomena Formation of pollutants and technologies for their reduction. Testing and checking of efficiency and exhaust gas quality of heating systems. Energy savings from Thermoelectric Power Plants. Development of new technologies and combustion systems such as solid fossil fuels and biomass combustion in a Fluidised Bed. Process simulation and development of advanced power generation cycles. CO 2 sequestration technological options. Hydrogen technologies. The Laboratory is since 1996 a Notified Body for the certification of boilers. The Laboratory is a member of the Network of Laboratories (Labnet) and the EQEM Thematic Network 7
